All four films play at once as a single installation that surrounds the viewer. The newest, Krapfen (2025), mixes choreography with green-screen CGI to follow a child whose family appears as floating articles of clothing, while its title, the word for an Austrian jam doughnut, is sung over and over in a bright but sinister tune. Marcon borrows from horror films, slapstick and cartoons, and from fables crowded with families and children. The curators are Massimiliano Gioni and Madeline Weisburg.

Ishihara blends fiction and documentary, often working with non-professional actors and local residents, to explore precarity, desire and belonging. Her approach draws on an upbringing in Japan’s underground nightlife and free-rave culture. Nocturnal Melody will also screen in the museum theater on select weekends, dates to be announced.

It can be seen from the stair and its landings, from the Lobby up to the Fourth Floor. Touching on labor, gender and historical memory, it is her first museum project in the United States, made with support from the Danish textile company Kvadrat.

Co-curated by Vivian Crockett and Isabella Rjeille of MASP in São Paulo, the Triennial takes its title from a 1979 action by the Brazilian collective 3NÓS3, who marked São Paulo gallery entrances with duct-taped X’s during the dictatorship. The ‘x’ here stands for both refusal and a crossroad. The artists work against fixed notions of territory, identity, gender and sexuality, and build alternative kinships and collaborations. It is the only recurring New York exhibition devoted to early-career artists internationally.
